Hello there. My name is Tara and I had the Essure procedure done about 4 years ago when I was 30. When I went for my 3 month check up after the procedure the radiologst informed me that a piece of the device had broken off and was floating around my uterus. I immediatly called my doctor and he said that it was fine to leave it there, stating that it would find a home somewhere and my scar tissue would build up around it. The fact that a piece of nickle was floating around my body seemed insane, however, I trusted in my doctor and let it be. Since having the procedure my periods have gone from lasting about 4 days to lasting over 8 full days of bleeding. My cramps are now unbearable and I often get very sharp shooting pains and I now believe it is from the device. I now have 4-6 days of dibilitating migranes each month and headaches almost daily. I am at a loss for ideas and do not know where to turn.
Thanks for taking the time to ready my story.
Tara
